. Questions for weekly discussions and conversations (not part of the required Discussion Board assignment)

These questions can serve as the starting point for your discussions during the week. They are “thought starters,” so that you can explore some ideas associated with the discussion board and unit topics. Answers are not required, and should not be submitted with your required assignment. Answers are not graded.

1. Why would researchers want to study violence against women? What would researchers hope to learn from this type of study?
2. How can our society benefit from a study such as this that examines violence against women? How can the results of this type of study benefit our culture on a large scale?

B. Required Discussion Board assignment.

For this assignment, you will make a 2–3-paragraph posting to the Discussion Board in which you must answer the following questions:

• What are some potential
   methods of researching violence against women? 
• Specifically, what are ways in which violence against women could be studied using interpretative and critical frameworks?
• What would you change and why?
• What different types of information would you likely obtain using this research process?

In your own words, please post a response to the Discussion Board and comment on other postings. You will be graded on the quality of your postings.

the document for discussion only has to be a paragraph no formatting, also ONLY HAVE TO ANSWER ONE of the questions. The other document homework assignment just follow instructions.

The purpose of this assignment is to investigate a professional journal in the field of fire prevention that interests you.

The objective of your critique is to find an article and compare the information in the article to what you

have been learning in class. Critique the article in terms of how the information within the article supports or disproves material that you have learned in this course. Please include the following topics in your critique of the selected article:

· A brief introduction and overview of the article

· A description of how the article either supports or disproves material in the course

· Your point of view

· A summarization of your thoughts and suggestions in support of your opinion

The selected article should not be more than four years old.

The completed assignment shall be a minimum of two (2) full pages of text; however, not more than three (3) full pages.

Additionally, include a Cover Page containing only the paper title, student name, and university name (centered on page)

and a References Page, both of which are not included as part of the pages of text. CSU requires that students use the

APA format in writing course papers, therefore the APA rules for formatting, quoting, paraphrasing, citing, and listing of

sources must be followed.

• How has the Internet affected the price elasticity of demand for air travel?

This dataset is from a study that evaluated the results of a new educational treatment for 9-12 year olds. The dataset contains 5 variables:

1. The first variable is the child’s gender – it has two values – 1 = males and 2 = females

2. The second variable is treatment – it also has two values – 1 = traditional treatment and 2 = new treatment

3. The third variable is the child’s age – it ranges from 9 to 12

4. The fourth variable is the child’s math test score before treatment

5. The fifth variable is the child’s math test score after treatment

Provide the appropriate descriptive statistics for each of the variables in the dataset. Next, you will need to decide whether you should use a t-test or ANOVA to compare males and females, those receiving the traditional and new treatment, as well as the different age groups, on both their pre-treatment and post-treatment scores. You will then conduct these analyses and interpret these results. Remember, if you have only two groups, and there are different people in those groups, you would use the independent samples t-test procedure, but if you have more than two groups, you’ll use the simple ANOVA (see flowchart on p. 191 of our text). Finally, you will correlate the age variable with both the pre- and post-treatment scores. You should include slides in your presentation that summarize and interpret the results of these analyses.

 Create a 10- to 15-slide presentation discussing your statistics project data analyses.

Include the following in your presentation:

• An introduction that includes the data and variables – This information is provided on the information tab of the Microsoft^® Excel^® data set.
• A description and results of each analysis
  • The descriptive statistics
  • The t test and ANOVA
  • The bivariate correlations
• A conceptual summary of the results stating what they tell you about the data
